Robot Operations Framework

Beside active automation systems like robots, the facility of the future also needs passive elements like sensors or cameras. Those systems can observe areas and stations to trigger a robot task (e.g. if pallets are available and ready to move).

For some use cases it is sufficient to use sensors, for example if just an occupied or not occupied is of interest. A camera on the other hand can deliver more information here. If done right, also sensors or an array of sensors can solve a task, where a camera would be the first choice.

To make the right decisions here, also take into account the energy consumption and the complexity of the solution that you have chosen. With WAKU Sense Eye a flexible and low energy camera solution comes in. It is configurable to detect for instance pallets or other objects of interest.
